1.0 Introduction
1.1 Medical Tourism
Medical Tourism refers to movement of consumers to the country providing the service for diagnosis and treatment. The size of this market is estimated to be $40 billion based on a Saudi Report in 2000. During the past four years, the market grew at a whopping rate of 20-30% and is expected to grow further. Considering this growth the current market size is estimated to be $100 billion.
Medical Tourism industry offers tremendous potential for the developing
countries because of their low-cost advantage. The advantages of medical
tourism include improvement in export earnings and healthcare infrastructure.
Many people in westernised world are accustomed to visit other nations which can offer medical treatment and very economy rates. In other words high quality health care treatments can be best available abroad at a very affordable prices (Herrick, 2007). Medical tourism has been very popular among the nations like Thailand, Philippines, Malaysia, India, Cuba, South Africa, Singapore etc (Bookman, 2007).
In order to realize the full potential of the industry, it is imperative for these countries to...

Medical applications of x-ray
Introduction:
X-radiation (composed of X-rays) is a form of electromagnetic radiation. X-rays have a wavelength in the range of 0.01 to 10 nanometers, corresponding to frequencies in the range 30 petahertz to 30 exahertz (3×1016 Hz to 3×1019 Hz)
X-rays up to about 10 keV (10 to 0.10 nm wavelength) are classified as "soft" X-rays, and from about 10 to 120 keV (0.10 to 0.01 nm wavelength) as "hard" X-rays, due to their penetrating abilities.[3]
Hard X-rays can penetrate some solids and liquids, and all uncompressed gases, and their most common use is to image of the inside of objects in diagnostic radiography and crystallography. As a result, the term X-ray is metonymically used to refer to a radiographic image produced using this method, in addition to the method itself. By contrast, soft X-rays hardly penetrate matter at all; the attenuation length of 600 eV (~2 nm) X-rays in water is less than 1 micrometer.[4]
The distinction between X-rays and gamma rays has changed in recent decades. Originally, the electromagnetic radiation emitted by X-ray tubes had a longer wavelength than the radiation emitted by radioactive nuclei (gamma rays).[5] Older literature distinguished between X- and gamma radiation on the basis of wavelength, with radiation shorter than some arbitrary wavelength, such as 10−11 m, defined as gamma rays.[6] However, as shorter wavelength continuous...

Medical Marijuana
Marijuana has been around since ancient Egypt with many uses as a antiseptic, paper, plastic, and even medical but since the probation of marijuana, marijuana has been mainly sold on the streets, leading up to the war on drugs. In recent years studies have shown some evidence that marijuana may have medical uses but being labeled a Schedule 1 drug by the federal government no study can get the proper funding to keep researching. There are medical benefits to marijuana, who knows if we kept the use of hemp and marijuana in America we as a society just need to do more research to see exactly what these benefits are. Many want medical marijuana just for the tax revenue but some still see it as a gateway drug and want it kept illegal and many more studies keep popping up with contradictory results.
Medical marijuana has many benefits to society just not for the users; medical marijuana through dispensaries can have taxable revenue. But many, as well as the federal government, it is a highly addictive drug but even Jimmy Carter pushed for the decriminalization of marijuana in 1976. Medical marijuana has benefits for those who suffer from Autism. “Medical marijuana cured my son” says Marie Myung-Ok Lee in the “Overkill in the War on Pot” continues “Our doctor, who started out as a healthy skeptic, was so impressed and moved by our...

Medical Assistant
One Career choice for an individual to have as an option should be to become an Medical Assistant. It’s Not Something to make a living from but its one step into the medical field. Most people go for an R.N or even better for a Dr. Degree. But here is some information about Medical Assistants responsibilities, etc.
Medical assistants have no formal education or training requirements although most have a high school diploma. Many receive only on-the-job training while others complete a one to two year formal program. Medical assistants are not required to be certified, but certification indicates that one is experienced and has received formal training. This may lead to better employment opportunities and higher pay. Certification is available from several professional organizations. One may also become certified in a specific medical specialty, such as obstetrics or podiatry. A medical assistant should be polite and pleasant and have good communication skills. There are no national licensing requirements for medical assistants, although, depending on the state in which they work, they may be required to obtain a license to perform certain procedures.

...Medical errors occur with such frequency and regularity that most states require periodic, ongoing medical education for all health care providers as part of their licensing requirement. Hundreds of thousands of patients are victims of medical errors each year and many of them suffer from permanent disabilities as a result, some even die. In its report, To Err Is Human: Building a Safer Health System, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) estimates that 44,000 to 98,000 Americans die each year not from the medical conditions they checked in with, but from preventable medical errors (Nordenberg, 2000).
A medical error, under the report's definition, could mean a health-care provider chose an inappropriate method of care or it could mean the health provider chose the right course of care but carried it out incorrectly. The Institute of Medicine (IOM) estimates that fully half of adverse reactions to medicines are the result of medical errors (Nordenberg, 2000). The statistics in the IOM report, which were based on two large studies, suggest that medical errors are the eighth leading cause of death among Americans (Nordenberg).
"A medication error is any preventable event that may cause or lead to inappropriate medication use or patient harm while the medication is in the control of the health care professional, patient, or consumer. Such events may be related to...
